This page contains OTA binary image files that allow you to manually update your Nexus or Pixel device. This has the same effect of flashing the corresponding factory images, but without the need of wiping the device.
These files are for use only on your personal Nexus or Pixel device and may not be disassembled, decompiled, reverse engineered, modified or redistributed by you or used in any way except as specifically set forth in the license terms that came with your device.
Terms and conditions
Downloading of the system image and use of the device software is subject to the Google Terms of Service. By continuing, you agree to the Google Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Your downloading of the system image and use of the device software may also be subject to certain third-party terms of service, which can be found inSettings > About phone > Legal information, or as otherwise provided.
Updating instructions
To update a device using one of the OTA images below, you need the latest
adb tool. You can get it from the Android SDK Platform-Tools package, which you can download here.
Don't forget to either add
adb to your PATH environment variable or change into the directory containing the executable.
Also be certain that you've set up USB access for your device, as described in Run Apps on a Hardware Device.
To apply an OTA update image:
- Make sure that there is no pending OTA update, by going to Settings > About phone > System updates, which should say "Your system is up to date".
- Download the appropriate update image for your device below.
- Verify the checksum of the image: the OTA mechanism has a built-in validation feature, but verifying will save you some time if the file is incomplete. The last portion of the filename is the first 8 digits of its SHA-256 checksum; the full SHA-256 checksum is also shown next to the download link.
- With the device powered on and USB debugging enabled, execute:
adb reboot recovery
If you're unable to use adb to reboot into recovery, you can use the key combination for your device instead, and then select the Recovery option from the bootloader menu. The device is now in recovery mode and an Android logo with red exclamation mark should appear on screen. - Hold the Power button and press Volume Up once, and a menu will appear. Select the option Apply update from ADB.
- Run the following command:
adb devices
and check that your device shows up with "sideload" next to its name. - Run the following command:
adb sideload ota_file.zip
where ota_file.zip is the name of the file you have downloaded and verified. - Once the update finishes, reboot the phone by choosing Reboot system now.
For security, you should disable USB debugging when the device is not being updated.
